Lucy looked at the bracelet. It was made of high-quality emerald with vivid color hues and minimal inclusions. It looked valuable.Tobias could sense Lucy's nervousness. He gently held her hand, silently giving her strength."Lucy, I want to give this emerald bracelet to you with everyone here to witness this moment." Agatha continued, "Once your children grow up and find their love, you can pass this emerald bracelet to your future daughter-in-law.""Grandma…" Lucy felt a wave of emotion wash over her. Something stirred within her heart, but she couldn't find the words to express how she felt.Agatha gently held Lucy's hand and put the emerald bracelet on Lucy's hand, saying, "Lucy, take good care of this."Lucy said, "Thank you for trusting me, Grandma. I will take good care of it. It's so important. I'll keep it safe until the day I die!"When Tobias heard her statement, he gently tapped her lips and complained, "Please, watch your words. Don't say something so negative!"Tob

Tobias frowned and asked as he pointed at Dayton's photo. "This man's photo wasn't in the document you gave me before. Why is it here now?"Finn said, "Mr. Ripley, Mr. Munoz has always kept a low profile, and no one would generally come across any photos of him. I asked someone to investigate him yesterday and took a photo of him."Only then did Tobias realize the photo wasn't a standard passport-sized photo; instead, it was one that had been captured at a restaurant.Why would a suspicious man named Dayton Munoz appear before him today? If it hadn't for Finn, who'd secretly asked someone to take this photo, had this man been planning to continue keeping a low profile?There was only one way to find out whether he just kept a low profile or was intentionally hiding something.Tobias said, "Finn, when are they arriving?""Soon." As he spoke, Finn received a text message. He read it and reported, "Mr. Ripley, they are downstairs. I'll go down to escort them.""Okay."Tobias looke

After Tobias had handled this matter, he remembered he'd promised to accompany Lucy for her check-up. He said, "Finn, postpone the meetings for the rest of the day. I have something to attend to and won't be in the office. Please call me for any urgent matters."After ensuring work matters were in order, Tobias drove home.When he'd left, it was 9:30 am. Lucy had just woken up. She stretched lazily and changed her clothes. Just as she finished, Tobias entered the master bedroom.Lucy was shocked and asked, "Darling, why are you back so early?"Tobias said, "I promised to accompany you to your prenatal check-up."He was eager to head home after handling his important work matter. This was his first time accompanying her to a prenatal check-up since she'd become pregnant, and it meant a lot to him.Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. "I heard you went to work this morning, so I thought you forgot," she said."Babe, I will never forget my promises to you

After Maya had lost her baby, she'd been supposed to go back to prison, but she'd escaped. She wore a cap and a mask so that no one could recognize her, leaving only her eyes exposed. The malicious intent in them was obvious.Meanwhile, hatred burned in Anna's eyes as she watched how intimate Tobias and Lucy were.She coldly said, "Maya, tell me, on what ground do they deserve to get out of everything unscathed? To live taintless lives? And here we are, forced to live in this endless abyss and hide in the dark!"Maya stayed silent.A murderous intent flickered in Anna's eyes. "I need to drag them down from their high horse and give them a taste of the pain in this darkness!"Maya said, "What do you plan to do?"Anna said, "Tobias knows about Cedric's plan. Previously, I tried to get between them, but it didn't work. We have no choice but to go against them forcefully."Maya asked grimly, "Are you planning to kill them?"Anna coldly said, "Yes, but now isn't the time."Her lips

Sienna was wheeled into the delivery room while Lucy and Tobias stayed outside. Lucy called Shaun, only to hear the automated response. "The number you have dialed is unavailable."Tobias asked, "Is he still not picking up?"Lucy shook her head. "I've left Shaun many missed calls. I assume he hasn't gotten off the plane yet."Tobias frowned and said in displeasure, "What is the matter with Shaun? He put so much effort into getting his wife back. Now, he isn't even here while she's about to have her baby. He's so irresponsible!"Lucy thought Shaun was a bastard too, but they had no right to meddle in their business. She only hoped Sienna's delivery went well. Suddenly, a shriek came from the delivery room. "Ah! It hurts!"Tobias' head tingled at the sound of the shriek. A doctor left the delivery room, so Lucy asked her, "Doctor, how is my friend? Why is she screaming?"The doctor said, "She is fully dilated now. The baby is coming out. It's just a shriek of pain."Then, the do

"Really?" Tobias furrowed his eyebrows in disdain."Of course."Then, the nurse brought Sienna out of the delivery room in a wheelchair. Shaun went over to her. He carried the baby in one hand while holding her hand in his other. He said, "I'm sorry for being late, babe."Sienna smiled weakly and said, "You have to earn enough to look after the baby. I don't blame you. Let me take a look at the baby."Shaun placed the baby beside Sienna. When Sienna looked at the baby, her eyes were filled with a mother's infinite love and tenderness. "He's adorable."As she spoke, she was wheeled into the ward. After helping her settle on the bed, Tobias and Lucy stayed in the ward. However, Shaun and Sienna were immersed in their joy.Lucy looked at the baby's face and said, "Sienna, I think he looks more like you.""You might be right. He has my nose and mouth." Sienna said, "Thank you for being here with me, Lucy. You're Violet's godmother, and I want you to be my son's godmother, too."Luc

Tobias and Lucy returned to the master bedroom. After staying in each other's embrace for a while, Tobias told the babies a story. Then, Lucy fell asleep in his arms.Tobias looked at how gentle she looked as she slept soundly. He kissed her forehead and murmured, "I love you, babe." He could never express how he truly felt; he could only say it when Lucy wasn't conscious enough to hear him. They cuddled and slept until 3:00 pm. Tobias held Lucy's hand and went to the garden. After afternoon tea with Howard and Agatha, they went to the hospital.Agatha stayed silent the entire journey as if something was bothering her. Howard noticed she was acting off, so he held her hand, silently comforting her.Soon, they arrived at the hospital. They'd made an appointment and arrived on time. Howard accompanied Agatha as she went through a series of medical tests. Tobias was beside them.When Tobias saw that Agatha had been sent into the endoscopy room, he asked, "Grandma, aren't you sup

"Faith, did you register me under my real name?""I know you don't want to expose your identity, so I gave you an alias—Banshee.""Banshee?" The corner of Lucy's lips twitched. The name sounded too ridiculous. Lucy stopped and said, "I'll finish the thesis tonight before dawn.""Great!" Faith said, "I'm looking forward to your masterpiece, Lucy!"After Lucy ended the call, Tobias came over with Agatha in a wheelchair. Lucy turned and saw the joy in Howard's and Agatha's faces.She went to them and asked Tobias, "What did the doctor say, darling?"Tobias said, "The doctor asked Grandma to return for a follow-up every month. As long as she takes her medication on time, her condition will change for the better."He held a prescription in his hand and said, "Babe, please look after Grandma. I'll get her medication."Lucy nodded and said, "Okay.""Lucy." Agatha said, "Do you think what happened was really a misdiagnosis? We went to a few hospitals before, and they all confirmed I h

Lucy heard what Tobias said and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her gaze, allowing tufts of hair in front of her forehead to conceal her emotions. "Why would I feel jealous? I don't love you."Tobias heard the last part of her sentence and felt as if countless insects were gnawing on his heart, making him feel itchy and painful. Both of them fell quiet, and things were a little awkward between them."The doctor's here, Prince Toddy.""Let him in."The doctor entered the bedroom and brought with him medical equipment of his own. He did a series of checkups on Lucy and said, "It's the same diagnosis as before, Prince Toddy. Her internal organs remain untouched, but she was wounded severely on the outside. "We need to apply a specialized ointment on her skin. Otherwise, she will have scars."Tobias said, "What are you waiting for, then? Get us the specialized ointment.""I've given you all of them, Prince Toddy. Use it wisely for now. The only person who possessed these sp

It seemed like Tobias was afraid that Lucy might reject him again. He added, "You haven't gone home for an entire night, Greta. Sully and Eli are extremely worried about you. I didn't want to alarm them, so I lied and said you're staying in the castle as a guest."If you insist on going back and letting them see you in this state, the twins would be worried and scared. Wouldn't you say?"Solomon and Elio were Lucy's weak spots. Initially, she was determined to leave. However, she hesitated when she heard what he said. Lucy lowered her head and looked at herself. Her limbs were injured, and her fingers were slightly bent. She was trembling ceaselessly as well. It looked as if her joints were distorted, giving off the impression that she was a disabled person. On top of that, Lucy's skin was cracked open from all the lashes. She looked absolutely terrifying. If she showed up in front of Solomon and Elio, looking like this, she would definitely traumatize them. With that said, Luc

Staying in the castle for the long term? Elio, who was a curious and mischievous kid, thought about the lavishing and magnificent castle, and his eyes sparkled. He responded to Tobias without any hesitation, "I do!"Meanwhile, Solomon wasn't interested in the castle that much. He wanted to spend some time with Tobias. On the other hand, he wouldn't be able to see Noah anymore if he went to the castle. So, he stuttered and said, "I don't."Elio looked at Solomon in confusion. The latter seemed to see through the former's bewilderment, and he asked, "Do you honestly think we can do whatever we want in the castle, just like the way we lived at the farm? "Moreover, we won't be able to see Noah anymore once we move there."Noah might've been a stepfather, but he took a huge place in the twins' hearts. Tobias was disappointed when he heard what Solomon said. "Do you two care about Noah very much?"Solomon responded, "Of course!" He considered his stepfather to be a good father. Tobia

Tobias used the military authority to his advantage and swiftly subdued Killian and all the leaders of his faction. All of them were incarcerated by the royal guards, and the signals were jammed. Not even God himself could help Killian and his ilk now. All they could do was sit on their thumbs in their respective homes. Moreover, Tobias revoked Killian's dukedom and stripped the latter of his military authority over Killian's negligence in Marie's education. After all, she drugged a prince. Now, Killian was nothing but a loser.Killian flew into a rage. "Damn it. King Samson had to show me some respect, but Toddy just disrespected me. How dare he lock me up at my home and make me a laughingstock in front of the entire world?""Marie has been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time now, Kilian. What if she can't take it?""I'll never let her die!" Killian bellowed. "Did they think I command only the factions in the castle? They have grossly underestimated me."Killian couldn't

Tobias accompanied Lucy and looked after her carefully. News of Marie's arrest quickly made its way to Samson. Once he knew what happened, he was enraged at her actions. Before he had time to comfort Tobias, Marie's father, Killian Lemoine, rushed into the castle in a fit of rage. "King Samson. Prince Toddy actually ordered his men to arrest Marie for the sake of a civilian. Do you have no respect for me as a duke?" Killian ordered angrily, "Release Marie at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it."Samson slammed the table. "Are you trying to launch a mutiny, Killian?"Killian responded, "All I want is for my daughter to be safe and sound. If someone so much as touches her hair, I won't mind going up against the throne to the bitter end!""Why, you!" Samson was agitated. "You are feeling heartbroken for what happened to your daughter, but Lucy was also her parent's sweetheart. Why haven't you thought about how poorly you've educated Marie while she did those heinous acts?""I

Lucy cried out, "Get away from me!"The royal guards acted like starving wolves. They pounced at Lucy and tore her clothes to pieces, making her look even more miserable. At the critical moment, a figure flashed past them. A thudding sound could be heard as one of the royal guards was sent flying into the air. Every time Tobias swung his fist, he sent another royal guard flying. He bellowed coldly, "How dare you lay your grubby paws on what belongs to me? Death has come for all of you!""Prince Toddy." The royal guards immediately felt that something was wrong and fell to their knees, their faces drained of color. "Take all of them away!"Lucy was downright miserable. There were filthy liquids and blood all over her body. On top of that, her hands and feet were covered in bloodied welts. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. It felt as if she was one touch away from passing away.Tobias' heart seemingly stopped beating. He was so heartbroken that the veins on his fo

Someone stole Duchess Lemoine's necklace.Tobias felt that this was something fishy, but he couldn't be bothered by it now. His head throbbed as he thought about how he had forced himself on Lucy. He said, "Dante, do you think Greta will hate me?"Dante stuttered, "Ms. Everhart was f-furious when she left and asked you n-not to look for her. Otherwise…"He stopped himself from finishing his sentence.Tobias asked, "Otherwise?"Trembling, Dante said, "Otherwise, s-she would beat you up each time she saw you."Tobias massaged his throbbing temple. "Prepare all the shoes, clothes, and accessories any woman would like. They need to be the best in the world. I'll apologize to her when dawn breaks.""Okay."Tobias stood by the bedside, heavy-hearted.Outside the window, the guards were scouring high and low. When Tobias saw what was happening, his eyes twitched for some unknown reason, as if he had an ominous feeling that something terrible had happened.After finishing breakfast a

At 3:00 am, Lucy felt like her bones were about to shatter.That damned man! How long had he been starving himself? He had come onto her seven times, devouring her completely.Tobias was sound asleep. Lucy lost herself for a second as she stared at his handsome face. At that moment, her heart beat wildly. When she regained her senses, she was so furious that she cursed him out internally.She wanted to help out of kindness but ended up giving herself to him. Lucy didn't want anything to do with him anymore and only wanted to remember this as an unfortunate event.Lucy got up, but her legs were so weak that she collapsed on the floor with a thump. She was even more furious.She turned to look at Tobias, who was fast asleep. She conveniently took her clothes from the bed and left while supporting herself on the wall.The corridor was still empty, but Lucy noticed the guards surrounding the entrance when she arrived on the first floor. Dante was also there. He was dozing off from wa

"Hmm… L-let go."Lucy tried to resist, but Tobias' kiss was like an ever-burning flame. She felt uncontrollably weak in her knees. It was hard for her to breathe, as if her mind was foggy from the lack of oxygen. She even kissed him back fiercely.Her kiss, in return, was like a fuse being lit, igniting the burning passion in Tobias. He aggressively ripped open her clothes, but the intricate design of her gown made it difficult to tear off. Lucy regained her senses and forcefully pushed him away.Tobias was caught off guard. With a loud knock, he collapsed on the floor. He moaned in pain as the back of his head hit the floor hard.His face flushed with an unnatural shade of red. He curled his body up in agony, and his voice sounded gruff. He had the last ounce of rationality in him. "Help me…"Lucy was blushing as well. In shock, she exclaimed, "What's the matter with you?"She walked closer to him and realized something was wrong with Tobias, assuming he had eaten something upse
